Chapter 3 Managing Fabric Zoning 61

Using the Zoning Wizard

The Zoning Wizard is a series of dialogs that leads you through the process of

zoning a fabric. To open the Zoning Wizard, open the Wizards menu in the faceplate

display, and select Zoning Wizard.

The Zoning Wizard helps you zone the two most typical reasons for zoning:

■Zoning Windows servers storage

■Assign storage to servers.

To solve these problems, there must be at least one target and at least one initiator in

the name server. Windows servers do not share devices well, but sometimes they

must share devices, such as a tape drive. The wizard helps you define which devices

are sharable and which ones are not. Once a device is in a Windows group, it can no

longer be in any other group.

Managing the Zoning Database

Managing the zoning database consists of the following:

■Editing the Zoning Database

■Configuring the Zoning Database

■Resolving Zoning

■Saving the Zoning Database to a File

■Restoring the Zoning Database from a File

■Restoring the Default Zoning Database

■Removing All Zoning Definitions

Editing the Zoning Database

To edit the zoning database for a particular switch, open the Zoning menu from the

faceplate display and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog (FIGURE 3-3).

Changes can only be made to inactive zone sets, which are stored in flash (non-

volatile) memory and retained after resetting a switch.
